Colmar private walking tour - Francois was personable and knowledgeable and we enjoyed our private tour. He explained the history of the important landmarks which was very interesting. We passed iconic sites as well as the open air markets, numerous restaurants and shops. One owner was kind enough to give us a warm, freshly baked macron. Francois spent more than an hour with us and was a wonderful guide!

Delightful guide and informative tour - Peak was such a great guide. She was communicative, knows a great deal about the area, and clearly loves what she does. I hope we have an opportunity to meet her again, and we’ll highly recommend her to anyone we know traveling to the region. Thank you, Peak, for a wonderful tour and your many excellent recommendations!

Charming and Stimulating - Can I give six stars?! We love Peak! Her pleasant personality and intellectual curiosity is a sheer delight. She has extensive knowledge of Colmar and showed us things beyond the ordinary. Although it’s true, my husband and I got a bit physically fatigued at the end, it had more to do with allergies than anything else. Peak is adventurous and very charming and wonderfully amiiable. She made Colmar truly real to us.

Colmar - the fairytale! - A wonderful tour with Francois around Colmar. He was knowledgeable about the history and the “legends” of the area and really good fun. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend Francois, one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had.

Wonderful Experience - Loved it! Peak is a wealth of information about the locals, history and details of the buildings, store signs, woodwork, everything. Tailors to your interests, easy to meet up with. She told us about the mayor and we saw him the next morning twice. She also helped our hungry family of 5 get settled into dinner prior to leaving. This tour was fantastic.

Super romantic town - Our local host gave us an amazing experience in Colmar. From little romantic sidestreets to the more popular hotspots - we got to see Colmar from a different perspective. Highly recommend to book this tour. It's more than the touristy spots. Good vibes only!

Not much history of Colmar - Lady was very nice but not very informative. Didn’t learn much history about Colmar. Mainly learned what we could see and read in the signs. Thinking she was not a history buff.
